I don't like this patch.  It makes the assumption that folios will never
be larger than PMD size, and I don't think that's an assumption that's
going to last another five years.  Look where you had to
do &folio->page:

For mk_huge_pmd() in particular, you need to know the precise page, and
not just use the first page of the folio.
